Alysson Vickery, wealthy, beautiful and wildly rebellious, leaves France to join her fiancé, a French colonel, in war-torn Algiers. There she meets Nicholas Sterling, son of an English noblewoman and a Berber sheik. Known as Jafar el-Saleh, the notorious golden-haired Algerian rebel, he has sworn vengeance against the French colonel who he holds responsible for his parents’ death.

Seizing Alysson, Jafar carries his lovely prey into the exotic wilderness only to discover his prisoner is a spirited beauty he vows to tame. Driven by a fierce passion that consumes them both, they are joined in a perilous alliance of danger and desire, captives of love in a war between two worlds.
